The plasma pistol (GRA) is a weapon added with the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Gun Runners' Arsenal.
Background[]
This plasma pistol has five tributary energy arcs connected to a central cathode, and the cathode functions as a point of focus, or the barrel. The energy is projected forward and forms a plasma pinch; though rather slow, the pinch carries high levels of both thermal and kinetic energy.
Characteristics[]
Compared to the standard plasma pistol, the GRA variant shares the same stats and textures,[Non-game 1] but has been modified to accept several modifications, which the standard plasma pistol cannot. It is also considered an improved holdout weapon.
Durability[]
The plasma pistol (GRA) can fire approximately 745 times using standard cells, the equivalent of 47 reloads, or 35 reloads when modified with the recycler, from full condition before breaking.
